Specification of newer-s Patent.

Patented July 31, 1908.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it, known that I, SAMUEL Hnannn'r VOORHEES, a citizen of the United States, residing atScranton, in the county of Lackawanna and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful lm rovements in Awn' -Hoods, of which the to lowing is a specificatlon. i

This invention comprises improvements in adjustable awning-hoods, the details of which will be ointed out in the following specification, ta en in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a front ers ective view of a com lete awnin hood? Fig. 2 is a section ont eline 2 2 0 Fig. 1, showing also'the uper part of an awning, partly broken away. i 3 is a view similar to Fig.2, showing one en of a hood in which the roof portion and tlgela awning-rod are independently adjusta e.

roof portion of the hood and the awning-rods, like those shown in 1, the arm which supports the awning-r0 s arm which supports the roof being adjustable. Fig. 5 is a similar view of an intermediate su porting device in which both arms are fix Fi 6 is a longitudinal section through one o the awning-rods. Fig. 7 is a side view of a bin d end bracket, and Fig. 8 is a pers' ective view of an intermediate suprtlng evice in which the arm for supportng the roof is fixed and the arm forsupportingathe lower awning-rod is adjustable.

, eferring to Figs. land 2 of the drawings, A indicates the awning-hood, and B indicates an awning having'its upper portion or eak' cut away to permit a circulation 0 air through the topof the awning and out under the hood. The awning-hood, as shown, com

prises two similar triangularend brackets 1,

aving perforated flanges 2 for-attachment to a window-casing, and an extensible roof portion a, consistin of end sections- 3, having downwardly-exten ing triangular flanges 3"',.

which are pivotally connected at their rear or u per ends to the upper ends of'the brackets Y 1 y means of bolts '4, and one or more intermediate roof-sections, suchas 'the section 5. The intermediate roof-section 5, as shown,

awning and to Fig. 4 is a perspective view of one. of the intermediate supporting devices for the being fixed and the the awningandalsopreventslightedmat es,

cigar-stumps, &c., which may be upon the hood from. falling upon and Igniting the awning. This arrangement of overlapping roof ortions having upturned edges is substantia y the same as shown in my pending application, Serial No. 204,998. in the present a plicat ion, however, the roof portion of the cod is vertically adjustable so as to vary the size of the opening above the rmit the inclination of the roof to be varie i As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the flanges 3, which form parts of the ends of the hood, are provided with slots 6-, concentric with the ivot-bolts 4, and anawn ing-rod 7' exten' s through said slotsand through openings in the brackets 11, and this red is hel in position by nuts 8, which are threaded onto the ends of the rod and clamp the flanges 3* to the brackets l. The rod 7 is made in sections in order to be extensible,- asshown in detail in Fig. 6. This rod consists of an end sectionf'i, which fits telescopically into tubular sectionsif .The number of tubularsec tions depend upon the length of the aw'nin and the ends 0 the tubular tions aret aded inlorder that each pair of sections may be connected by a coupling 7".

This awninfirod supports the upper end of the. awnin asshown in Fig. 2. A similar rod 9 is s ownconn'ected to the brackets 1 and an adjustable arm 13, secured at its rear end to the rear end of the stationary arm by ajpivot-pin 14 and connected near its forward end to the stationary arm by a slotted arm 15, through which extends an adjusting screw 16. The rods 7 and 9 are supported 1n the stationary arm, and the adjustable arms may be raised or lowered to suit the desired inclination of the hood. The arms 13 have upwardly-turned'portions 13 at their lower ends which extend around the gutter on the 4 rod. The flange 3 and the bracket 1* may be secured by a bolt 18, secured to the bracket 1 and extending the bracket 3.

In Fig. 5 I have shown adevice for supporting the intermediate portions of the hood in which the arms 11 and 13 are inte ally connected instead of being relatively a justable. This bracketmay be used where it is not desired to adjust the awning-roof.

In Fig. 7 an end bracket 1 is shown in which the flange 2 is connected by a hingejoint 2 to the main portion of the bracket. This hinge-joint is desirable for the reason thatit facilitates assembling the'hood and enables the fastening devices to be inserted through a slot 19 in through the flange while the bracket is laid out flat.

In Fig. 8 an intermediate supporting device C is shown in which the arm 13 which supports the roof portion of the hood, is fixed and the arm 11*, which supports the lower awning-rod,-is adjustable. In. this figure the arm 11 is hinged upon the upper rod9 and the 'two arms are connected by a slotted arm 15 and bolt 16, as in Fig. 4.

If desired, hinges-2O (shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1) may be attached to the roof portions near their upper edges for the purpose of securing said roof portions to the windowcasmg.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is i 1. An awning-hood comprising a pair of end brackets, an adjustable roof portion pivotally connected to the end brackets, and means for securin said roof portion in various positions of a justment.

2. An; awning-hood comprising a pair of end brackets, an adjustable roof portion having flanges fitting against said end bracketsandpivotally connected thereto, and means for securing said flanges to said brackets in various positions of adjustment.

- 3. The combination with a longitudinally extensible awning-hood of a sectional awningsu'pporting rod comprising two end sections supported in the ends of the hood, and one or more intermediate sections having a sliding connection with one ofsaid end sections and secured to the other end section.

4. The combination with an awning-hood having a roof portion suitably supported at its ends, of one or more devices arranged to sup ort the intermediate portion of the hood, eac of said devices having an arm extending beneath the roof of the hood and having an upwardlprojection engaging the lower end of the roof.

5. The combination with an extensible awning-hood comprising several overlapping roof-sections, of devices arranged to support said sections intermediate the ends of the hood, each of said devices having an arm extending beneath the roof and provided with an upward projection engaging the lower edge of the roof.

6. The combination with an awning-hood comprising end brackets and a roof portion hinged'to said brackets, of one or more intermediate supporting devices each having a hinged arm arranged beneath and supporting the roof portion of the hood.

7. The combination with an awning-hood comprising end brackets and a roof portion hinged to said brackets, of one or more inter-' mediate supporting devices each having a hinged arm arranged beneath and supporting the roof portion of the hood, said arms having upward projections engaging the lower edge of the roof portion.

, 8. The combination with an awning-hood comprising end brackets and a roof portion hin ed to said brackets, of one or more interme iate supporting devices each having an f arm arranged beneath and supporting the roof portion of the hood and an arm adapted to support an awning-rod, and an' awningrod supported by said latter arms.

' 9. The combination with an, awning-hood comprising end brackets and a roof portion hin ed to said brackets, of one or more interme iate supporting devices each having a hinged arm arranged beneath and supporting the roof portion of the hood and an arm arranged to support an awnin -ro-d, and an awning-rod supported by said atter arms.

10. The combination with an awning-hood comprising end brackets and a roof portion connected to said end brackets, of one or more intermediate supporting devices, each of said devices comprising a fixed arm, and

senses an arm adjustably secured to said fixed arm,- one of said arms being arranged to su port the roof portion of the hood and the ot er of said arms being arranged to support an awning-rod, and an awning-rod supported by said latter arms.

11. In an awning-hood, the 1 combination ith a roof portion, of a pair of end brackets connected to said roof ortion, each end bracket having an attaching-flange connected thereto by a hinge-joint.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
